2-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-oxoethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C<inf>15</inf>H<inf>11</inf>BrO<inf>4</inf>, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 66.77 (8)°. In the crystal, O - H?O, C - H?Br and C - H?O hydrogen bonds link the molecules, forming layers lying parallel to (101). The crystal packing is further consolidated by C - H?? inter-actions and ?-? stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5476 (7) Å]. © Fun et al. 2011.
